Description
I'll just be talking about PostgreSQL, since it's the only one i've been using, but it might also be possible with other Database Engines.
When you set a default on a field such as:
my_field = models.BooleanField(default=True)
This default is not applied to the PostgreSQL table:
Table "public.app_mytable"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-----------------+--------------------------+-----------
my_field | boolean | not null
SQLAlchemy provides a server_default option.
It would be nice to have such an option in Django too.
